DataSet export to .csv file

snufse1 · September 19th, 2008, 02:43 PM

Is there an easy way to export a data set to a .csv file or do I have to map each element? I read something like this:

Code:

<pnwc:ExportButton 
id="btnExcel" 
runat="server" 
Separator="TAB" 
Text="Export to Excel" 
FileNameToExport="Books.xls" BackColor="#E0E0E0">
</pnwc:ExportButton>

but it tells me that the tag is invalid.

Did you install the "One-click Excel/CSV export button control" server control that goes with the example syntax:

There's a little more explanation of it over at code project:
